The higher end of the market typically consists of frontline golf villas with substantial plots, while the apartments and townhouses offer more accessible entry points into one of Benahavís' most desirable postal codes. The scarcity of residential plots (only 2 available) suggests that the area is fully developed, adding value to existing properties.
